Start the Services Manager and see if it lists an entry for the "MySql" service. If so, tell the service to stop and close the window. Then open a DOS window and issue this command: C:\> mysqld --remove That will remove the service. Then it will run only when you invoke it explicitly. Alternatively, if the service is registered, you can change it to be a "manual" service rather than an "automatic" service. Then you use the Services Manager to start it up as a service, but you have to do so yourself. It won't start whenever Windows starts. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Gerald R.
